        • np: it doesn't matter. Just be straightforward with your friend- the longer you avoid it, the more you will think about it and the worse it will get. She's your friend, just talk to her as you always do.

    • Let her decide whether it's an issue. Say, I know you're trying hard but I hope you can ultimately be happy for me even if this makes you angry for a while. Our friendship is important to me. I look forward to you being an important person in my child's life.

    • Don't you think she has dealt with this with her other close friends over the years? Maybe give her a little credit. I am sure she will express happiness for you, whether she feels sad or not.

    • Hi, you are a nice friend. I struggled with infertility - and these are just my thoughts - take em or leave em. You should tell her in a non confrontational way, I would choose email or a phone message when you know she is not home. My vote is email. You can choose your words carefully and you can share your good news and let her absorb it at her pace. You just leave the door open by saying, I know this may be difficult news for you to hear. I totally understand. I look forward to talking to you when you are ready. I love you. Or something like that.
